Download from Eddie: After finalizing your edit in Eddie, click the “Export” button below the video player. Select “Final Cut Pro” to download your project as an FCPXML. This format is tailored for Final Cut Pro and includes specific markers and editable titles.

Prepare for Import: Place the downloaded FCPXML file in the same folder as your original video files. This helps ensure that when you import the file into Final Cut Pro, it can seamlessly link to the source footage.
